JobGuardian is currently in active development.
Security fixes are generally applied to the latest supported release.
| Version | Supported |

| Development Builds |
Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.
Instead, contact the maintainers privately and provide as much information as possible.
Include:
- affected JobGuardian version
- provider configuration
- reproduction steps
- potential impact
- proof of concept if available
Examples of security-related issues include:
- lease ownership bypass
- privilege escalation
- denial of service
- data exposure
- tenant isolation violations
- improper state manipulation
- authentication or authorization bypasses
When a security report is received:
- The issue is reviewed and validated
- Impact and exploitability are assessed
- A fix is developed
- A patched release is prepared
- Public disclosure occurs after a fix is available
We will make a best effort to acknowledge valid reports promptly.
The security model of JobGuardian is primarily concerned with:
- distributed lease ownership
- execution coordination
- state consistency
- persistence integrity
- tenant isolation
- data integrity
- denial-of-service resistance
The framework assumes that:
- the hosting environment is trusted
- database credentials are managed securely
- infrastructure access controls are correctly configured
We ask security researchers and users to follow responsible disclosure practices.
Please allow maintainers reasonable time to investigate and fix issues before publicly disclosing vulnerabilities.
This helps protect users and allows coordinated remediation.
JobGuardian is designed around the following principles:
Only one execution owner may hold a lease at any given time.
Ownership verification must not rely on local process state alone.
When ownership cannot be verified, execution should stop.
Runtime state and lease information must remain consistent even in failure scenarios.
Applications should grant only the minimum permissions required for JobGuardian to operate.
Significant changes affecting:
- lease acquisition
- ownership validation
- heartbeat processing
- runtime state transitions
- persistence providers
- multi-tenancy
should be reviewed from a security perspective before release.
JobGuardian is provided as open source software without warranty.
Users remain responsible for validating the framework within their own environments and security requirements.
